We started the work on deleting topics in 0.8 (kafka-330). We realized thatit touches quite a few critical components such as controller, replicamanager, and log, and it will take some time to stabilize this. In ordernot to delay the 0.8 release too much, I propose that we push this featureout of 0.8. Since we don't really support deleting topics in 0.7, thisdoesn't reduce the existing features.

This is a feature I've been hoping for, so I added an upvote to Kafka-330. But I will defer to you in terms of not wanting to delay 0.8 unnecessarily.

Will we still have a backhanded way to remove a topic if need be? Ultimately, I'd like to see the feature where a topic automatically iscreated on receipt of a new message, and that topic will then automaticallybecome deleted after a configurable period of inactivity. In otherwords,auto-creation and auto-deletion.
